    You're welcome. Glad to see you got it to work.

    Dormers

    Post a plan file, and I will let you know why a dormer won't build.
  3. CTL+Left Mouse Button click. That toggles select and deselect for a particular item just to expound on Mick's post.
  4. I have been working on this for a while and with a but of progress have come up with this. Window_Glass_Area.json
  5. Maybe you could ask someone is the sales section of the forum? https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/4-sales-related-questions/
  6. Nope, I just wanted them to see what the lawn would look like after nature had its way with it.
  7. Here is a sort of trivial Twinmotion rendering that I did for a client. https://www.facebook.com/doug.norton.16/videos/336464278849304
  8. I had a look at your plan, and as you said, the moulding was always actually at the first floor. For some reason 2d polyline moldings are only referenced at absolute height, not in relation to the foor, terrain or any other object. You can make them move to whatever elevation that you prefer. or by defining the height
  9. Hopefully my analysis helped.
  10. Here is a video of my interpretation of the problem and a possible solution. Landing Wrong Elevation_01.mp4
  11. Is this the area that you are referring to as a landing?
  12. Backup the plan file as a zip (right from the CA save menu) It will be a lot less than 14m then.
  13. Please post the plan file. The PDF does not show how the structural parameters are set for this area.
  14. Maybe you should consider SketchUp.
  15. Maybe you will get more interest if you spell the name of the group correctly. Just saying....
  16. Jim, I tested your workflow, and got the same result as you. This seems to be a bug and should be reported. Error reported..
  17. It is true you have to be careful, and the resolution of the system is to the nearest inch. Field measurements are still very important.
  18. I think the wall thickness shown is because of plumbing chases and an actual support wall. Matterport is pretty good at guessing wall thicknesses from stitching scans together. That being said, it would be a great ideal to take some actual measurements to make adjustments when doing the CA model.
  19. Dershem is right! Here is your file with the balcony changed to bonus. You can then relabel it to balcony, and then rendering works fine.
  20. OK, so thanks to DBCooper, I have this whole deck railing thing sorted out. Please see the railing library file, and the sample deck. This deck is only to demonstrate the principles of constructing a deck with cantilever balustrades, offset railing and stacked profile top rail. Everything you will need should be in the attached library and the deck sample file. Sample Deck with Cantilever Balustrades.plan External Deck Railing.calibz
  21. Hi Coop. Thanks for the method. Railings in CA are not intuitive but with perseverance and some ingenuity it is a pretty good tool. Great insight. Thanks again.
